Power Muffins

I joined a Challenge group through work.  Its an accountability group for diet &
exercise.  A friend of mine is coordinating it.  (Kate is a Beach Body coach so
if any of you are looking for someone to help you in your journey, I got
contacts ;) )

One of the ladies in the group loves to bake and she shared this original recipe
of hers with us.  Raina gave me permission to share it here.

These are incredibly delicious!  The only change I made was to use chocolate PB2
(powdered peanut butter).  I actually used the Hy-Vee brand in the Hy Vee health
market.  Its much lower calorie and fat than regular peanut butter but tastes
pretty darn good - especially the chocolate version:)

This recipe made regular sized 14 muffins.  Serving is 1 muffin.   

Power Muffins
 2c Hodgson Mill whole wheat insta-bake
1c vanilla almond milk 
1/2c stevia
1/2 c PB2 and 1/4 c water (or 1/2 c all natural peanut butter)
2 eggs
1/2tsp vanilla
1/4c chia seeds
1/4c ground flax seed
1/2c chopped nuts (I used pecans)
3/4c whole rolled oats
1/4 cup unsweetened dark chocolate chips.

Mix everything together.  Bake at 325 for between 12-15 minutes for mini muffins (~20 min for regular sized muffins).

SO GOOD!
